Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

As part of the MA programme students are required to plan and undertake research leading towards an MA thesis. This course is designed to support students in this process, building on knowledge they have gained from previous language classes and their experience of writing academic papers. The course addresses the following three core issues:
- Students' identity as writers and readers of academic texts
- Academic genre conventions
- Textual competence
The content and structure of this course, in particular its assignments, are conceived specifically for students who are working on a research paper (an MA thesis or a seminar paper) in the same semester
